It was a wild night at Benaroya Hall when Seattle's own Sir Mix-A-Lot performed Baby Got Back with the Seattle Symphony.

For Baby Got Back, he invited women from the audience to join him on stage on Friday. The rapper also performed Posse on Broadway.

"What I want to do now, is something you really should not do, but since tonight is orchestral movements from the 'hood night, I'm going to leave some of this open, if a couple of ladies would like to get up on the stage," the rapper said. "We will not bite unless you want us to."

Nearly two dozen enthusiastically danced as he performed his famed rap song.

The event was part of the critically acclaimed Sonic Evolution project, which creates a bridge between the symphony and Seattle's reputation as a launching pad for creative musicians.

Each year, in celebration of the past, present and future of the city's musical legacy, Ludovic Morlot and the Seattle Symphony commission world-class composers to write orchestral world premieres inspired by bands and artists that launched from, or are related to, Seattle.

In addition to writing a new composition inspired by Sir Mix-A-Lot, composer Gabriel Prokofiev also orchestrated two of the rapper's most famous hits for this year's concert, including Baby Got Back.
